How to enable SSH on BR200 Firewall?

I have a new BR200 firewall (replaced an old ProSafe FVS318G). How do I enable SSH in the BR200? I've looked in all the GUI screens in Basic & Advanced and cannot find anything about enabling SSH

Not sure you'd want SSH anyway as the Linux kernel version is pretty ancient (2.x, IIRC, based on an nmap scan I ran.) At that age SSH would be much more of a security risk than a benefit.

Agree jdrch . However, some simple testing tools like ping or traceroute, either from the local UI and/or Insight, or from a local shell would be the minimum.
